Homes & Interiors<br />
With no limits to the colours and<br />
styles we can use in our homes,<br />
Susan Robertson looks at the key<br />
colour trends for the upcoming<br />
season, and how we can be brave<br />
with colour in our homes.<br />
by Susan Robertson<br />
As we get braver with<br />
the furniture, the walls<br />
are stepping up to the<br />
challenge too!<br />
Gone are the days of the rules about colour.<br />
‘Red and green should never be seen’ but it’s<br />
one of my favourite colour combinations.<br />
Different schools of thought on how you<br />
choose hues for above and below a traditional<br />
picture rail, and whether you paint or strip<br />
your woodwork have been challenged and<br />
changed over the years as the trends alter and<br />
we become more empowered to do our own<br />
thing.<br />
Brave<br />
Palettes<br />
I remember when the ‘feature wall’ seemed<br />
really ground-breaking, that ability to splash<br />
colour or pattern in a way never done before<br />
seemed really bold at the time, but everything<br />
moves on and the feature wall is another<br />
distant memory. We’re much bolder than that<br />
now.<br />
The ‘safe’ magnolias and creams have given<br />
way to warm greys, lilacs and blacks as neutral<br />
palettes.
